It hurts definitely but mostly from contractions that pain goes away after the epidural you feel nothing the after it wears off you become really sore

I too had back labor it was by far the worst pain I've. Gone through i also Got the epidural it only lasted For so long before It stopped working i ended up having a c section it was the toughest experience I've gone through. But very worth it I'd go through it all over again for my son

I've broken many, many bones to include my pelvis and my femur. Labor and delivery were not nearly as painful as that.
However, my first was my worst. No one told me what to expect.  I wasn't prepared. The only tool for it I was given was lamaze.  That explains tire method is a crock of crap.  Meditation and hypnobirthing are the way to go.
I've delivered 4 times. Twice were completely med free.  I'll do it again.
What you have to remember is that anxiety and stress make it far.more painful and far longer than if you relax and let your body do the work. Fighting it is only making it worse. It's very temporary pain. When you relax through it, your body produces endorphins that help to ease the pain and make it ease asset on you. When baby is born, the bad part is over.

I had  back labor with my first son. It really was horrible.. That's why I gave it and got an epidural but in my opinion that made it even worse because when it came to pushing I couldn't feel anything.. But I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.. Because out of all that I got my wonderful son

It is really really painful, I wanted the midwife to take the bottom of my spine out(back labour) but then again I managed on gas and air. It is definitely worth it and even it's the worst pain I've suffered, If would gladly go through it again for my little boy and any other children I may have :)

It definitely hurts. Just practice breathing. I know that sounds stupid but it will make all the world's difference when those contractions won't let up. I got an epidural with my first son and it wore off because I was in labor for 36 hours. I'm 28 weeks with my 2nd son and I am trying to keep the mentality that I will not get an epidural this time.

When you go into labor don't go into it terrified.. Because that will only make it worse.. I'm not gonna lie it does hurt. With my first I went into l&d not wanting any sort of pain meds but I gave in even though now I wish I hadn't.. Just everytime you get a contraction just think to yourself one more contraction closer to holding my baby.. Thats something that helps me get through it
